Use epoxy glue to stick a patch of thin ply on the inside of the box before you drill for the jack

Take a piece of 1/4" or 1/8" ply and cut a small square about 2" x 2" and drill your hole through it. Put the ply on the back side of you cookie tin and mount your jack. It will take the length out of your jack also so it's not protruding out of the tin so far, if you want you can glue the ply to the tin to stable it up even more. If you have room for a bigger piece of ply the bigger the piece the more stable. Quick and easy :-)

Great. I'll need to experiment... Definitely a trial and error thing but this seems like a great idea. I've been using mainly round tins so I'll need to somehow curve the jack placement or use the top or bottom on the tin.
